[0078] To make the technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments in the present disclosure clearer, the following provides a detailed description of the exemplary embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the described embodiments are only part of the present disclosure and not an exhaustive list of all possible embodiments. Furthermore, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and their features in the present disclosure may be combined with each other.

[0079] FIG. 1 shows a structural schematic diagram of a flexible bag body 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The flexible bag body 100 is enclosed to form a cavity 100a, which can be used for accommodating objects requiring insulation. The flexible bag body 100 is provided with a crease portion 100b to facilitate folding. When the flexible bag body 100 is compressed, it bends and deforms on both sides of the crease portion, changing its shape and reducing its volume, thereby making storage more convenient. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the flexible bag body 100 is provided with the crease portions 100b, which serves as an auxiliary means for folding, assisting users in quickly folding the bag body into a predetermined shape, thus enhancing the folding efficiency. Moreover, it prevents creases from forming at undesired locations on the flexible bag body 100, protecting the flexible bag body 100 and ensuring that its appearance remains clean and aesthetically pleasing for an extended period, thereby improving the durability of the flexible bag body 100.

[0080] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 15, a plurality of crease portions 100b can be arranged on the flexible bag body 100 to enable folding of various parts of the flexible bag body 100, thereby minimizing its storage volume.

[0081] FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of a flexible bag body provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The flexible bag body 100 is sequentially provided with an inner layer fabric 14, a filling layer 15 and an outer layer fabric 16 from inside to outside. The filling layer 15 is positioned between the inner layer fabric 14 and the outer layer fabric 16. The plurality of crease portions 100b of the flexible bag body 100 in the present disclosure are not formed through repeated folding but are specifically designed to create permanently effective and aesthetically pleasing crease portions 100b.

[0082] In some possible embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1 to 15, one of the plurality of crease portions 100b comprises a plurality of grooves a formed in the flexible bag body 100 along a predetermined track line. The filling layer 15 is provided with an opening 155, and the inner layer fabric 14 and the outer layer fabric 16 are connected at the opening 155. Both the outer layer fabric 16 and the inner layer fabric 14 extend into the opening 155 and are contact-connected, so that a surface of the inner layer fabric 14 and a surface of the outer layer fabric 16 are sunken to form one of the plurality of grooves ‘a’. The section of the inner filling layer 15 corresponding to one of the plurality of grooves ‘a’ lacks a solid structure and instead provides holes, naturally reducing the structural stiffness at the crease portions. When external force is applied to the flexible bag body 100, bending deformation occurs preferentially at the crease portions 100b. The flexible bag body 100 is provided a folded state and an unfolded state, and in the folded state, the flexible bag body 100 is bent and deformed at least on two sides of a part of one of the plurality of crease portions 100b. In the unfolded state, the surfaces of the bag body structure on both sides of one of the plurality of crease portions 100b can transition smoothly.

[0083] In some possible embodiments, the outer layer fabric 16 and the inner layer fabric 14 are fixedly connected at the opening by means of a hot-melt connection. When the outer layer fabric 16 and the inner layer fabric 14 come into contact, they are heated, causing them to bond directly and securely. The use of hot-melt between the outer layer fabric 16 and the inner layer fabric 14 offers advantages such as strong adhesion, rapid bonding speed, and high bonding strength.

[0084] In some possible embodiments, the outer layer fabric 16 and the inner layer fabric 14 can be fixedly connected at the opening 155 through adhesive bonding. Liquid or semi-solid glue can be applied to the facing surfaces of the inner layer fabric 14 and the outer layer fabric 16. Subsequently, they are directly aligned and pressed together at the opening 155. Once the glue dries, the two fabrics are securely bonded.

[0085] In some possible embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the flexible bag body 100 comprises a plurality of side pieces 1, and the plurality of side pieces 1 enclose to form the cavity 100a. Each of the plurality of side pieces 1 is provided with at least a portion of the crease portions 100b. The crease portions are arranged on each of the plurality of side pieces 1 of the flexible bag body 100, ensuring that all side pieces 1 of the flexible bag body 100 can fold and deform synchronously, preventing the formation of creases in non-folding areas during the folding process, thus enhancing folding efficiency.

[0086] In some possible embodiments, one of the plurality of grooves a is a long strip groove. When the flexible bag body is in the unfolded state and is supported on a horizontal supporting surface, one of the plurality of grooves a is parallel to the horizontal supporting surface 400; or one of the plurality of grooves a is perpendicular to the horizontal supporting surface 400; or an included angle is formed between one of the plurality of grooves a and the horizontal supporting surface 400, and the included angle is an acute angle or an obtuse angle. Each of the plurality of grooves a independently adopts one of the aforementioned three configurations.

[0087] The long strip groove extends along the predetermined track line. The long strip groove renders a longer region of the flexible bag body 100 with low structural stiffness, thereby making this region prone to deformation and facilitating smooth bending and deformation during the process of folding the flexible bag body.

[0088] As shown in FIG. 24 and FIG. 25, the flexible bag body comprises four side pieces 1 and a bottom piece connected with the four side pieces 1, the four side pieces 1 are enclosed to form a top opening, a crease portion 100b extending in the longitudinal direction is arranged in the middle of the two opposite side pieces 1 in the four side pieces 1, and in the state that the flexible bag body 100 is supported on the horizontal supporting surface 400, the crease portion extending in the longitudinal direction comprises a plurality of grooves a which are sequentially arranged, and each groove a is perpendicular to the horizontal supporting surface 400, and two inclined crease portions extending towards two sides of the bottom of the side piece 1 are arranged at the bottom of the longitudinally extending crease portion. The inclined crease portion comprises a plurality of obliquely extending grooves a. The flexible bag body also comprises an inner layer fabric, a filling layer and an outer layer fabric, and the flexible bag body 100 is provided with an air nozzle 1b. Consumers can squeeze the flexible bag body 100 from both sides along its thickness direction, causing it to deform and bend at each crease portion, ultimately folding into a flat structure, which facilitates storage.

[0089] In some possible embodiments, a sealing cavity 1a is formed between the inner layer fabric 14 and the outer layer fabric 16, and an air nozzle 1b, which communicates with the sealing cavity 1a, is arranged on the inner layer fabric 14 or the outer layer fabric 16. Through this air nozzle 1b, air can be inflated into the flexible bag body 100, causing the internal unpunctured filling layer 15 to expand and bulge. The outer layer fabric 16 and the inner layer fabric 14 of the punching portion of the filling layer 15 are connected together through hot melting to form a transversely-closed groove a. The inflated and bulged filling layer 15 ensures that the entire flexible bag body 100 stands upright after being inflated. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a transverse long-strip-shaped groove a in the flexible bag body 100 enables the flexible bag body 100 to be pressed and folded from top to bottom. When folding the flexible bag body 100, squeezing the bag body allows the air between the inner layer fabric 14 and the outer layer fabric 16 to be expelled through the air nozzle 1b, facilitating the folding process. One of the plurality of grooves a is isolated from the sealing cavity 1a, ensuring that the air in the sealing cavity 1a does not leak through one of the plurality of grooves a.

[0090] It should be noted that, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 15, each groove a on the flexible bag body 100 may include any one or more of a transverse groove, an inclined groove and a longitudinal groove. The directions defined in the present disclosure, such as transverse, inclined, and longitudinal, are determined based on the state of the flexible bag body 100 when it is unfolded and supported on the horizontal supporting surface 400. Specifically, the transverse direction is substantially parallel to the horizontal plane, the inclined direction forms a non-90° angle with the horizontal plane, and the longitudinal direction is perpendicular to the horizontal plane.

[0091] In some possible embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 27, one of the plurality of crease portions includes a first crease portion 2, and the first crease portion 2 extends in a circumferential direction of the flexible bag body 100. For the embodiment of FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, users can directly press down on the flexible bag body 100 from the top, enabling air to be expelled through the air nozzle 1b, while simultaneously allowing the flexible bag body 100 to fold and deform at the first crease portion 2 along its circumference, thereby reducing the height of the flexible bag body 100. The transverse cut diameter of the bag body side walls can be consistent or inconsistent from the bottom to the top opening. For instance, the flexible bag body 100 can have a larger opening at the top, a smaller size in the middle, and a larger size at the bottom. Alternatively, the flexible bag body 100 can be designed with a smaller middle section, a larger bottom, and a smaller opening. Another option is for the flexible bag body 100 to have a larger middle section, a smaller bottom, and a larger opening. The flexible bag body 100 can be designed in various shapes, and the specific shape of the flexible bag body 100 is not limited in the present disclosure. For the embodiment shown in FIG. 27, the flexible bag body 100 is relatively flat, allowing the user to directly fold the upper and lower ends of the flexible bag body 100 along the first crease portion 2 as the folding line for storage, with the air nozzle 1b providing exhaust.

[0092] In some possible embodiments, the first crease portion 2 comprises a plurality of grooves a which are sequentially arranged at intervals, and connecting lines of all the grooves a form an annular closed crease line. The length of each groove a can be greater than the distance between adjacent grooves a, thereby rendering the crease line less rigid around its circumference and making it easier to bend and deform as a whole when subjected to force. Each groove a can be a transverse groove, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 9. Alternatively, each groove a can be a slightly inclined groove, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8.

[0093] In some possible embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, when the flexible bag body 100 is in the unfolded state, each of the plurality of grooves a is located in the same plane. All the grooves a, located in the same plane, divide the bag body into two regularly shaped parts: an upper and a lower part. This design allows the entire upper part to be retracted into the inner side of the lower part or sleeved on the outer side of the lower part, creating an inner-outer nested folding effect for the flexible bag body 100.

[0094] In some possible embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 9, one of the plurality of crease portions may include a plurality of second crease portions 3, one of the plurality of second crease portions 3 extends obliquely. When the flexible bag body is in the unfolded state and is supported on the horizontal supporting surface, an included angle is formed between one of the plurality of second crease portions and the horizontal supporting surface. One of the plurality of second crease portions 3 forms an included angle with the first crease portion 2. One of the plurality of second crease portions 3 intersects with the first crease portion 2, this increases the folding areas of the flexible bag body 100, the flexible bag body 100 can be folded inward at the first crease portion 2 and outward at one of the plurality of second crease portions 3, allowing the upper and lower parts of the flexible bag body 100 to fold together. This results in a flatter and more compact folded form for the flexible bag body 100.

[0095] In some possible embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 9, at least two intersecting second crease portions 3 are respectively arranged on the two opposite side pieces 1 of the flexible bag body 100, and four end portions of the two intersecting second crease portions 3 respectively extend away from each other and extend towards two sides of the upper portion and two sides of the lower portion, respectively, for example, extending towards the two sides of the top of the side piece 1 and the two sides of the bottom of the side piece 1. The first crease portion in the middle of the side piece 1 can be transversely folded inwards, the two intersecting second crease portions 3 can be folded outwards to form edges, and the intersecting second crease portions 3 are located on the same straight line in the folded state, so that the flexible bag body 100 is folded more flat, thus facilitating storage. It should be noted that the terms “above” and “below” in the present disclosure should be understood as referring to the upper portion and the lower portion of the flexible bag body when the flexible bag body is supported on the horizontal supporting surface.

[0096] As shown in FIG. 20 to FIG. 23, the flexible bag body 100 comprises a cover piece, a bottom piece and four side pieces 1, the four side pieces 1 enclose to form a cavity 100a, a top opening and a bottom opening, the bottom piece is connected to each side piece 1 to close the bottom opening, and the cover piece can be connected to the side piece 1 for closing or opening the top opening. The flexible bag body is provided with a first crease portion 2, and all strip-shaped grooves a of the first crease portion 2 are sequentially arranged in the circumferential direction of the flexible bag body 100. Two intersecting second crease portions 3 are respectively arranged on the two opposite side pieces 1 of the flexible bag body 100, and four end portions of the two intersecting second crease portions 3 respectively extend away from each other and extend towards two sides of the upper portion and two sides of the lower portion, respectively, for example, extending towards the two sides of the top of the side piece 1 and the two sides of the bottom of the side piece 1. The flexible bag body 100 also comprises an inner layer fabric, a filling layer and an outer layer fabric, and the flexible bag body 100 is provided with an air nozzle 1b. Consumers can directly press down on the flexible bag body 100 from the top, allowing the air between the inner layer fabric and the outer layer fabric to be expelled through the air nozzle 1b. At the moment, the flexible bag body 100 will fold along the first crease portion 2, while the two opposite side pieces are bent at the intersecting second crease portions 3. Ultimately, the whole flexible bag body 100 is folded to form a flat structure, thus facilitating storage.

[0097] For instance, referring to the flexible bag body 100 shown in FIG. 23, the flexible bag body 100 comprises a cover piece, a bottom piece and four side pieces 1, the four side pieces 1 enclose to form a cavity, a top opening and a bottom opening, the bottom piece is connected to each side piece 1 to close the bottom opening, and the cover piece can be connected to the side piece 1 for closing or opening the top opening. A first crease portion is arranged in the middle of the two opposite side pieces 1, and is only arranged on the two opposite side pieces 1. Two intersecting second crease portions 3 are arranged on the two opposite side pieces 1 of the flexible bag body 100, and four end portions of the two intersecting second crease portions 3 respectively extend away from each other and extend towards two sides of the upper portion and two sides of the lower portion, respectively, for example, extending towards the two sides of the top of the side piece 1 and the two sides of the bottom of the side piece 1. The flexible bag body 100 also comprises an inner layer fabric, a filling layer and an outer layer fabric, and the flexible bag body is provided with an air nozzle. Consumers can directly press down on the flexible bag body 100 from the top, allowing the air between the inner layer fabric and the outer layer fabric to be expelled through the air nozzle. At the moment, the flexible bag body 100 can be folded in the first crease portion 2 on the two side pieces 1, meanwhile, the second crease portion 3 on the other two side pieces 1 is folded inwards, the whole flexible bag body 100 is finally folded to form a flat structure, thus facilitating storage.

[0098] In some possible embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, the flexible bag body 100 comprises two first side pieces 11, a second side piece 12 and a third side piece 13; the second side piece 12 and the third side piece 13 are arranged on two sides of one of the two first side pieces 11 respectively, and the second side piece 12 and the third side piece 13 are connected to the two first side pieces 11 respectively; and two intersecting second crease portions 3 are arranged on the two first side pieces 11, wherein one end of one of the two intersecting second crease portions 3 extends to a midpoint or a top end point of a top of the second side piece 12, and another end of one of the two intersecting second crease portions 3 extends to a midpoint or a bottom end point of a bottom of the third side piece 13; one end of another one of the two intersecting second crease portions 3 extends to a midpoint or a top end point of a top of the third side piece 13, and another end of another one of the two intersecting second crease portions 3 extends to a midpoint or a bottom end point of a bottom of the second side piece 12.

[0099] The crease portion extends to the second side piece 12 and the third side piece 13 of the flexible bag body 100, enabling all side pieces 1 of the flexible bag body 100 to fold synchronously. The bending parts are entirely composed of the plurality of crease portions arranged on the flexible bag body 100, without forming creases on other parts. This minimizes folding resistance, reduces folding difficulty, and enhances folding efficiency.

[0100] In some possible embodiments, as shown in FIG. 12 to FIG. 15, the crease portion comprises a plurality of third creases 4. The plurality of third creases 4 are sequentially arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the flexible bag body 100. Each third crease 4 forms an included angle with the first crease portion 2. The flexible bag body 100 can be rotationally folded along the inclined direction of each third crease to reduce its height. It should be noted that only the third crease portion 4 can be arranged on the flexible bag body provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, and the first crease portion 2 is not arranged.

[0101] Each third crease 4 can also comprise a plurality of inclined long-strip-shaped grooves a, and the grooves a are sequentially arranged at intervals. When the flexible bag body 100 is in the unfolded state, each groove a of the same third crease 4 can be located on the same straight line. When the flexible bag body 100 is rotated, it synchronously bents and deforms at each crease portion. And finally, the top surface and the bottom surface of the bag body gradually approach each other until the distance between them is less than a set value.

[0102] In some possible embodiments, the flexible bag body 100 comprises a plurality of side pieces 1, and each side piece 1 is provided with at least one third crease 4. As shown in FIG. 12 to FIG. 15, the flexible bag body 100 may be provided with four side pieces 1, and the adjacent side pieces 1 are perpendicular. The flexible bag body 100 is roughly cubic. A third crease 4 is arranged on each side piece 1, and the two ends of the third crease 4 extend towards the two ends of the diagonal line of the side piece 1 respectively. By rotating the flexible bag body 100 forwardly, the side piece 1 is folded and deformed, reducing the height of the flexible bag body 100. Reversely rotating the top cover of the flexible bag body 100 restores the side piece 1 to its original shape and gradually unfolds it.

[0103] In some possible embodiments, the third crease 4 is provided on one or both sides of the first crease portion 2 in the height direction.

[0104] The flexible bag body 100 is provided with a first crease portion 2 and a second crease portion 3 respectively, so that part of its structure can be telescopically folded and another part can be folded through rotation, further reducing the folding volume of the flexible bag body 100. In the process of folding the flexible bag body 100, part of its structure can first be folded through rotation, and then by pressing down on the flexible bag body 100, it can be folded into a pad-like shape, thus facilitating easy storage.

[0105] In some possible embodiments, the third crease 4 and the first crease portion 2 are sequentially and alternately arranged in the height direction of the flexible bag body 100. When the height of the flexible bag body 100 is relatively high, a plurality of first crease portions 2 and a plurality of groups of third creases 4 can be arranged on the flexible bag body 100, with the first crease portion 2 and the third crease 4 being sequentially and alternately arranged in the height direction, so that a relatively high flexible bag body 100 can be folded to a relatively small height. When specifically folding the flexible bag body 100, a part of its structure can first be rotated and folded, and then the flexible bag body 100 is pressed down, bringing each part of the structure after rotary folding closer together vertically. Finally, all parts of the structure are nested inside and outside, allowing the higher bag body to form a flat folding state and minimizing the height size of the flexible bag body 100 to the greatest extent possible.

[0106] In some possible embodiments, as shown in FIG. 11, one of the plurality of crease portions includes a fourth crease portion 5, the fourth crease portion 5 is distributed on a whole surface of the flexible bag body 100, and a plurality of triangular areas are formed between the fourth crease portions 5, thus allowing the flexible bag body 100 to be provided with a plurality of different folded states. The fourth crease portion 5 comprises a plurality of long-strip-shaped grooves a, each groove a serving as one edge of a triangular area, which can be an isosceles triangle. With these regularly distributed grooves a, users can customize the shape of the bag according to their needs. In the unfolded state, the flexible bag body 100 can be in a one-piece state and can be used as an outdoor temporary cushion. Moreover, the entire bag body is made from a single, square piece of material, avoiding any waste of fabric and making it more material-efficient.

[0107] In some possible embodiments, as shown in FIG. 28a, one of the plurality of crease portions comprises a fifth crease portion 7, the fifth crease portion 7 is distributed on the whole surface of the flexible bag body 100, a plurality of fifth crease portions 7 are arranged, the plurality of fifth crease portions 7 are parallel to the horizontal supporting surface 400, the plurality of fifth crease portions 7 are perpendicular to the horizontal supporting surface 400, and a plurality of rectangular areas are formed between the fifth crease portions 7. The flexible bag body 100 is provided with a plurality of different folded states. The flexible bag body 100 can be folded in half along one of the plurality of fifth crease portions 7 in either the horizontal or vertical direction.

[0108] In some possible embodiments, as shown in FIG. 28a, two ends of a bottom of the flexible bag body 100 further comprise a fifth crease portion 7 that forms an included angle with the horizontal supporting surface 400, and fixing pieces 103 matched with each other are arranged at the two ends of the bottom of the flexible bag body 100 and two ends of a waist portion of the flexible bag body 100. By connecting the fixing pieces 103 at the bottom with the corresponding fixing pieces 103 at the waist, the shape of the bag body can be altered, as shown in FIG. 28b after the shape change. The fixing pieces 103 can be implemented using buckles, buttons, hook-and-loop fasteners, straps, or other similar means.

[0109] In some possible embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 16, the filling layer 15 can be made of materials such as sponge 151, Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA), rubber and plastic insulation materials, silicon dioxide aerogel felt, and the like. To enhance heat preservation and maintain dryness, the filling layer 15 can comprise a sponge 151 and a composite sheet 152. The sponge 151 and the composite sheet 152 are bonded and fixed, and the composite sheet 152 can be either or both of an aluminum foil sheet and an EVA sheet. To enhance heat preservation while also saving costs, the sponges 151 with different expansion ratios can be bonded together or the sponge 151 can be bonded with other materials with low thermal conductivity. The filling layer 15 can undergo processes such as punching and wire cutting, making the flexible bag body lightweight, easily compressed, and compact, and enabling the surface of the flexible bag body to exhibit various textures. For example, as shown in FIG. 26, a plurality of through holes 154 can be formed in the filling layer 15. Each through hole 154 needs to be hollowed out on the filling layer 15. The weight of the flexible bag body can be greatly reduced by having a sufficient number of the through holes 154.

[0110] Currently, most of the soft cooler bags available in the market use thicker fabrics, typically made of abrasion-resistant and waterproof materials such as polyester or Oxford cloth, to protect the internal filling and items requiring insulation. The internal filling also employs relatively stiff and thick materials, resulting in a common issue where these bags have a certain weight. When filled with food, their weight significantly increases, making them inconvenient to carry and occupying substantial space when not in use. Therefore, a lightweight and foldable self-inflating flexible bag body 100 can address this problem. As shown in FIG. 17 and FIG. 18, the filling layer 15 of the flexible bag body 100 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can be provided with a plurality of hole portions 153. In the unfolded state, the outer layer fabric 16 forms an outer convex pattern at one of the plurality of hole portions. The hole portions 153 can be created through punching or wire cutting processes, making the flexible bag body 100 lightweight, easily compressible, and compact. Additionally, this design gives the flexible bag body 100 a textured surface with different styles. Compared to the manufacturing processes available in the market, the flexible bag body 100 of the present disclosure is more portable, easier to fold, more compact, and maintains insulation performance without increasing costs.

[0111] The conventional cooler bags in the market are relatively expensive and overly specialized. The flexible bag body 100 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is priced moderately, offers insulation, and is relatively lightweight, making it suitable for daily shopping as well as for light outdoor enthusiasts. It has a broader market and a wider audience.

[0112] Zippers 6, hook-and-loop fasteners, buckles, or other connecting structures can be arranged on both sides of the opening of the flexible bag body 100 to close or open the opening. Handles can be provided on the flexible bag body 100 for convenient standalone use, and the flexible bag body 100 can also be used in conjunction with other carriers.

[0113] As shown in FIG. 19a to FIG. 19d, the embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a cooler bag. The cooler bag comprising a cooler bag housing 200 and the aforementioned flexible bag body 100, and the flexible bag body 100 is detachably connected to the cooler bag housing 200. The cooler bag housing 200 facilitates user portability and serves to protect the flexible bag body 100.

[0115] In the first matching mode, as shown in FIG. 19a, the cooler bag housing 200 is provided with an accommodating cavity 201, and the flexible bag body 100 can be accommodated in the accommodating cavity 201. Under this configuration, the flexible bag body 100 serves as an inner container. When insulation is required for the cooler bag, the inner container is added; for ordinary storage purposes, only the cooler bag housing 200 is used. Moreover, if the cooler bag housing 200 is damaged, only the cooler bag housing 200 can be replaced, and if the inner container is damaged, only the inner container can be replaced. This allows for repeated use and extends the product's service life, thereby minimizing waste.

[0116] In the second matching mode, as shown in FIG. 19b, the cooler bag housing 200 is provided with a first magnetic attraction portion 202, the flexible bag body 100 is provided with a second magnetic attraction portion 101, and the first magnetic attraction portion 202 and the second magnetic attraction portion 101 are magnetically attracted to each other. The magnetic attraction method is simple in structure and easy to operate. The flexible bag body 100 can be placed either inside or outside the cooler bag housing 200, as long as it does not fall off.

[0117] In the third matching mode, as shown in FIG. 19c, the cooler bag housing 200 is provided with a first buckle 102, the flexible bag body 100 is provided with a second buckle 203, and the first buckle 102 and the second buckle 203 are clamped and fixed. In the embodiment, the cooler bag housing 200 and the flexible bag body 100 are clamped and fixed by a buckle structure, which has the advantages of stable and reliable connection. The flexible bag body 100 can be placed either inside or outside the cooler bag housing 200, as long as it does not fall off.

[0118] In the fourth matching mode, as shown in FIG. 19d, both the cooler bag housing 200 and the flexible bag body 100 are provided with hook-and-loop fasteners 300, and the cooler bag housing 200 and the flexible bag body 100 are bonded and fixed through the hook-and-loop fasteners. Hook-and-loop fasteners are convenient and easy to use. When detaching the flexible bag body 100, one only needs to pull apart the hook-and-loop fasteners, making it user-friendly. Hook-and-loop fasteners are economically practical and inexpensive, further reducing costs.
